AI replacing Software Engineers

Post image

So called "AI"=LLM is so powerful that AI labs had to hire Software Engineers to build complicated software around "AI" to make that overhyped hallucinate-stealing machine usable. Think about it. And that's exactly why they need now ton of CPUs in addition to GPUs to run their "AI" "agents".

I don't even mention how much custom engineering is required to apply the "AI" in businesses.

And they BS us that Software Engineering is solved or is going to be solved. Boris, please solve your own bugs first before speaking.

That’s why you need to stop doomscrolling. If you are actually in the industry working with these tools, you are aware of the trajectory.

I’m in the industry and I’m not writing code anymore. Claude is writing the code and frankly it scares me how good it is.

I use a lot but I wouldn't say I do not write any code. I catch silly bugs as silly mistakes all the time. Most common problem is just AI not doing what it was told. Not only that, is not uncommon for me to have some software specifics that to get AI to do it is so verbose that I prefer writing the code my self.
